A group of five French tourists and a Swiss tourist have been arrested after a British teenager was allegedly raped in the resort town of Magaluf.
It is alleged that the suspects took video of the attack on their phones at a hotel in the resort.
The tourists drove the woman back to their hotel after they met at a party on Monday, a source close to the investigation told Ultima Hora.
It is alleged that the vacationers then raped her in one of their rooms.
She escaped and fled into the street to seek help.
In the first photos of the six men, one of the suspects had his head bowed and stared at the ground as he was led into a court in the Majorcan capital of Palma in handcuffs by a Civil Guard officer
But the other five, all dressed in the same shorts and T-shirt they were arrested in, made no attempt to hide their faces when they were brought to court for a closed-door pretrial detention hearing.
A guard saw her crying and called the police.
The alleged victim described the suspects to officers and they were subsequently located and arrested.

All suspects were handcuffed and led into the courthouse in Palma.
It was not immediately clear this morning whether they had agreed to be questioned by an investigating judge and prosecutor at yesterday’s hearing and what they had told police ahead of their trial.
Officials confirmed that all had been taken into custody by the judge on duty.
The Guardia Civil has not yet released an official statement, but the force has confirmed the six arrests and described the men as five French nationals and one Swiss national. All are in their twenties.
Detectives inspected the room where the alleged attack took place and reviewed CCTV from the hotel entrance as part of the ongoing investigation.
A medic checked the woman and would have found grip marks on her arms.
